The 3 Steps To Making Your Dreams Come True by Bo Sanchez
This is timely. We were only talking about it yesterday and I received this in the mail.
--------
(Before I talk about the subject above, I just want to tell you I'm still walking on Cloud 9. Last night, we just finished our KerygmaConference2015 in Manila and I can't begin to describe the happiness there. Imagine 20,000+ people empowered, encouraged, and equipped towards their God-given mission. This Saturday, I go to Cebu for the KerygmaConference2015 there.)
Do you
want to fulfill your dreams?
God plants dreams in our hearts.
Here are 3 Steps to make them come true…
Do you
really know what you want in life?
You've got to know your dream so well that you see it in your mind. In fact, you just don't see it, you feel it in your heart. Because faith and fear are not just beliefs or expectations—they're also feelings. When you see your dream in vivid detail, you'll feel the faith rise within you.
That's why fearful people cannot dream.
Here's what you do: Imagine all your dreams are already fulfilled. The more you see it and feel it, the easier it is for your dreams to come true.
Dream in vivid Technicolor—complete with sounds, smells, tastes, and feel.
The reason why many people don't receive God's blessings is because they have a limited capacity to receive those blessings. The problem isn't in the Supply. (It's infinite.) The problem is in the Receiving of that Supply.
So how do you increase your capacity to receive?
By increasing your vision. When you increase the size of your vision, you increase the size of your blessings.
See your dream. Feel it.
Once you do that, you're ready for the next step…
Actually, you don't sow the dream.
You sow the seed of the dream. And that small seed will grow to become your big dream.
What's the seed? Your actions.
Nothing happens unless you act.
When you plant one hundred seeds, not all of those one hundred seeds will grow. Perhaps ninety-nine will die. But that's okay. It's the one seed that grows that will make your dream come true.
So make mistakes!
Act. And act. And keep on acting.
Wake up early. And run towards your dream!
Even if you feel that you have very little resources…
When David fought Goliath, he didn't ask for a M9 bazooka, a machine gun, or a bullet-proof vest. He worked with what he had—a leather sling and five smooth stones. God transformed it into a deadly weapon in his hand.
When Moses delivered the Israelites from Egypt, he didn't ask for a phalanx of warriors, a naval battleship, or a couple of nuclear missiles to defeat Egypt. He used what he had—an old wooden stick. But through that old wooden stick, God made a snake, turned a river into blood, divided the red sea—and drowned the chariots of Pharaoh.
So use what you have!
I hear this a lot from people who excuse their mediocre lives:
Here's the truth: You have everything you need to reach your dreams.
Everything.
Did you read that?
E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!
You have the Holy Spirit. You have friends around you. You have other talents within you. Etcetera.
And here's the last crucial step you need to take…
Some of you may even be shocked by my third step.
I've asked you to dream, right? To pursue it with so much passion that you see it and feel it in your heart.
But in Step Three, I'll ask you to do what seems the very opposite: To surrender your dreams to God. In Step Three, you say the most perfect prayer of all. "Lord, not my will but yours be done.”
To trust.
To let go.
To actually tell God that you're happy now—even without this dream.
Here's one thing I found out about dreams. If I'm desperate, needy, and frantic—I find it so difficult to make that dream come true.
But if I surrender to God my dream, and relax, and treat my pursuit of the dream as play—I find myself attracting every blessing I ever need in an almost effortless way.
This is my experience with money too.
When I'm desperate for money, very little comes my way. Everything I earn is a struggle, like I'm pulling teeth from the universe.
But when I'm relaxed about money—trusting that I'm swimming in an ocean of money—the money will come rolling at my feet, begging that I take it.
When I do this, I don't struggle. The right people come to me. The right connections come to me. The right book comes to me. The right opportunities come. Almost effortlessly…
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

I hear this a lot from people who excuse their mediocre lives:
- "But I don't have a college diploma”
- "I can't speak English well,”
- "I don't have the right connections.”
- "I'm not good in math.”
- "I don't know how to sell.”
- "I don't have time.”
- "I'm not as good-looking as Bo Sanchez.”
(Have your eyes checked.)
Here's the truth: You have everything you need to reach your dreams.
Everything.
Did you read that?

The Time Of My Life by Princess Velasco
I've been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn't see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I'm coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin' my world start to turn
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn't see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I'm coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin' my world start to turn
And I'll taste every moment
And live out loud
I know this the time
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
And live out loud
I know this the time
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I'm rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
And as close as the beat of my heart
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I'm rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
And as close as the beat of my heart
And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
And live it out loud
I know this is the time
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
And I'm out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I'm keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun
Ready to run
I'm keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun
And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud I know this is the time
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
My life
More than a name
Or face in the crowd
I know this the time
This is the time of my life
This is the time of my life
Time of my life....
Time of my life...
And live it out loud I know this is the time
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
My life
More than a name
Or face in the crowd
I know this the time
This is the time of my life
This is the time of my life
Time of my life....
Time of my life...

Enough
When the devil keeps on asking you to look at your past, there must be something good in the future that the devil doesn't want you to see.
Swatch x Slim's x Inquirer2bU
Before going to Slim's I saw the word "blessed." ...And this feature happened. This is exactly what I am feeling right now. God is so kind. *tears of joy*
When Ms. Therry showed me the newspaper personally, Oh my God.... I had goosebumps. I was surprised, I had no idea that my garment was picked for this shoot nor there was even a shoot happening. It is also my first time to see my garment worn by a person. It comes alive. I love it! She looks so elegant.
Salamat God. :')
Salamat Swatch x Slim's x Philippine Daily Inquirer. :)
God's grace is beyond measure. Do your part and God will create the miracles for you.

Although I find this project too formal, I kind of like it.
It's not something I would wear but it's very Filipino in a way. It reminds me of the panuelo. :)
I used a tweed looking fabric for the bodice and a leather looking neoprene for the wrap or shawl (?)... I don't know what to call it.

I'm on the right path
God wants us to know that you are on the right path.
Keep on walking, and one day you will turn back and see that all was as God meant it for you, - perfect.

No. Slow. Grow. Go.
When the
idea is not right, God says No.
When the
time is not right, God says Slow.
When you are
not right, God says Grow.
When
everything is all right, God says Go.
-Rev. Robert
H. Schuller
